Exercise 9-21
9-21 Variable and absorption costing, explaining operating-income differences. Nascar Motors assembles and sells motor vehicles and uses
The selling price per vehicle is $24,000. The budgeted level of production used to calculate the budgeted fixed manufacturing cost per unit is 500 units. There are no price, efficiency, or spending variances. Any production-volume variance is written off to cost of goods sold in the month in which it occurs.
- 1. Prepare April and May 2017 income statements for Nascar Motors under (a) variable costing and (b) absorption costing.

Data concerning the expected production of each product and the expected total direct labor-hours (DLHs) required to produce that output appear below: Product E0 Product Ne Total direct labor-hours Activity Cost Pools Labor-related Production orders Order size The company is considering adopting an activity-based costing system with the following activity cost pools, activity measures, and expected activity: Estimated Overhead Cost Multiple Choice $33.94 per MH $54.20 per MH Direct Expected Labor-Hours Production Per Unit 10.1 410 1,550 9.1 $51.98 per MH $21.40 per MH Activity Measures DLHS orders MHs Total Direct Labor- Hours $ 301,890 61,087 585,366 $948,343 The activity rate for the Order Size activity cost pool under activity-based costing is closest to: 4,141 14, 105 18,246 Product E 4,141 850 5,550 Expected Activity Product NO 14, 105 950 5,250 Total 18,246 1,800 10,800arrow_forwardApply the Concepts, Cost Reporting Medco Inc., a manufacturing firm, has four activities: purchasing materials, molding, inspecting molds, and grinding imperfect molds. Purchasing materials and molding are necessary activities; inspection and grinding are unnecessary. SQ provides the value-added quantity for each activity; AQ is the actual activity output. The following data pertain to the four activities for the year ending (actual price per unit of the activity driver is assumed to be equal to the standard price): Activity Activity Driver Purchasing Purchasing hours Molding Inspecting Inspection hours Molding hours Grinding.

- Techno Instruments uses a manufacturing costing system with one direct-cost category (direct materials) and three indirect-cost categories: a. Setup, production-order, and materials-handling costs that vary with the number of batches b. Manufacturing-operations costs that vary with machine-hours c. Costs of engineering changes that vary with the number of engineering changes made In response to competitive pressures at the end of 2016, Techno Instruments used value-engineering techniques to reduce manufacturing costs. Actual information for 2016 and 2017 is as follows: 2016 2017 Setup, production-order, and materials-handling costs per batch $8,600 $7,800 Total manufacturing-operations cost per machine-hour $59 $53 Cost per engineering change $18,750 $14,000 The management of Techno Instruments wants to evaluate whether value engineering has succeeded in reducing the target manufacturing cost per unit of one…arrow_forwardThe Gangwere Company has assembled the following data pertaining to certain costs that cannot be easily identified as either fixed or variable. Gangwere Company has heard about a method of measuring cost functions called the high-low method and has decided to use it in this situation.
